Thanks Guitar Center, and UPS.
For anyone ripped off by guitar center on a trade-in, I’ve got an uplifting story for you
[QUESTION] Buying Used From Guitar Center??
Is Guitar Center a good place to grab a used bass guitar?
So yeah, when the UPS driver was carrying it, and the box was deforming under his arm, I knew my Christmas present to myself was fucked.
GC used a box a foot too long, then only put 6 little rolls of bubble wrap in it, nothing around the synth. UPS dropped it at least Twice.
Synthmas is ruined.

A few weeks ago, I saw that GC was selling a Tribute Asat Deluxe for $800. I happened to be selling one for $400ish. The market seems to hold around $400-500 for these used. So I brought it in to guitar center.
I paid $400 after shipping last year for it. Guitar center gave me $475.
So for everyone who has gotten rooked but needed the cash (and seeing their volume of nice used gear, there’s a lot) , rest assured knowing that one of us has finally won a round.
Does anyone have any experience buying used guitars from guitar center? Is the quality good, is there any difference buying used vs new, etc? Thanks!
Brand new, want to pick up a bass to play around with at home. Is Guitar Center well regarded as a place to pick up a decent used bass? or should I just look for something private party used even though I don't really know what to look for?
Edit: Ended up buying a used S101 from a local shop for $60, thanks for the advice folks.
